Michigan Foreclosure Prevention Resources

For 2009, Michigan ranked 8th among all states in foreclosure rate, an increase of 11.54% from the year before. Nationally, 2009 was the worse year for foreclosures in US history, with 2.8 million property owners receiving a foreclosure notice.
Michigan’s highest unemployment rate in the nation seems primarily to blame.

The Michigan Foreclosure Prevention Project is a project of the Michigan Poverty Law Program (MPLP), a cooperative effort of Legal Services of South Central Michigan (LSSCM) and the University of Michigan Law School. The program is a partnership with legal aid offices and housing counselors throughout Michigan, as well as the National Consumer Law Center (NCLC).
